Mount Vernon Avenue runs through the heart of the King-Lincoln-Bronzeville neighborhood. It is home to small stores and pharmacies, houses and a barber shop. It's also been home to speeders and the scene of many crashes, making it dangerous at times not only for motorists, but also for pedestrians and bicyclists as the neighborhood near Downtown continues to become more popular with developers and new residents.

Dealing with inequities As soon as psychologist Whitney Raglin Bignall steps into a new patient’s room at the primary-care clinic where she works, she sometimes sees a bit of tension ease in the nervous parents and children staring back at her. Their shy smiles of hello might suddenly reach up toward their eyes, their shoulders might relax a little once the invisible weight of history lifts from them. Only about 5% of practicing psychologists are Black, and that number is even lower when it comes to those who specialize in pediatric care, as Raglin Bignall does.
